  2. Diophantine equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diophantine_equation

    Diophantine geometry, is the application of techniques from algebraic geometry which considers equations that also have a geometric meaning. The central idea of Diophantine geometry is that of a rational point , namely a solution to a polynomial equation or a system of polynomial equations , which is a vector in a prescribed field K , when K is ...

  3. Degree of a polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_a_polynomial

    In mathematics, the degree of a polynomial is the highest of the degrees of the polynomial's monomials (individual terms) with non-zero coefficients. The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables that appear in it, and thus is a non-negative integer .

  4. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    The equation given by Fuss' theorem, giving the relation among the radius of a bicentric quadrilateral's inscribed circle, the radius of its circumscribed circle, and the distance between the centers of those circles, can be expressed as a quadratic equation for which the distance between the two circles' centers in terms of their radii is one ...

  5. Collocation method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collocation_method

    In mathematics, a collocation method is a method for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations and integral equations.The idea is to choose a finite-dimensional space of candidate solutions (usually polynomials up to a certain degree) and a number of points in the domain (called collocation points), and to select that solution which satisfies the ...

  6. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    The solutions of this equation are called roots of the cubic function defined by the left-hand side of the equation. If all of the coefficients a , b , c , and d of the cubic equation are real numbers , then it has at least one real root (this is true for all odd-degree polynomial functions ).

  7. Genus–degree formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genus–degree_formula

    In classical algebraic geometry, the genus–degree formula relates the degree of an irreducible plane curve with its arithmetic genus via the formula: = (). Here "plane curve" means that is a closed curve in the projective plane.

    septic equation for degree seven; octic equation for degree eight; A Diophantine equation is an equation where the unknowns are required to be integers; A transcendental equation is an equation involving a transcendental function of its unknowns; A parametric equation is an equation in which the solutions for the variables are expressed as ...

  9. Homogeneous function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneous_function

    Conversely, every maximal continuously differentiable solution of this partial differentiable equation is a positively homogeneous function of degree k, defined on a positive cone (here, maximal means that the solution cannot be prolongated to a function with a larger domain).
